LAWS OF MARYLAND
Ch. 21
by law.
Subsection (c)(5) of this section is revised in
standard language used to state a limitation on
successive terms. Thus, the phrase "may not be
reappointed for 4 years after completion of those
terms" is substituted for the ambiguous reference
"may not serve". This revision prevents
appointment of the member to succeed some other
member whose term, e.g., expires in this same
year. This revision also clarifies that the
prohibition addresses a 4-year period and does
not prohibit appointment after that period. This
substitution is patterned after the limitation on
successive terms for members of county advisory
councils on alcoholism, in § 8-313 of this
article.
The third clause of former Article 59, §
32A(a)(l), which provided for a temporary
chairman, is deleted as obsolete.
Defined terms: "Board" § 10-404
"Mental disorder" § 10-101 "Secretary" § 1-101
"State facility" § 10-101
10-412. SAME -- OFFICERS.
(A) IN GENERAL.
FROM AMONG ITS MEMBERS, EACH BOARD SHALL ELECT A
CHAIRMAN AND OTHER OFFICERS THAT THE BOARD CONSIDERS
NECESSARY.
(B) ELECTIONS AND TERMS OF OFFICE.
THE MANNER OF ELECTION OF OFFICERS AND THEIR TERMS OF
OFFICE SHALL BE AS THE BOARD DETERMINES.
REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section is new
language derived without substantive change from
the second clause of the first sentence and the
first clause of the second sentence of former
Article 59, § 32A(e).
Subsection (b) of this section is standard
language added to clarify the manner of election
of officers of the Board and their terms.
The first clause of the first sentence of former
Article 59, § 32A(e), which referred to the first
meeting of the Board, is deleted as obsolete.
Defined term: "Board" § 10-404
